Abū 'l-Walīd Muammad ibn Amad ibn Rushd, better known as Ibn Rushd,
and in European literature as Averroes (1126 - 1198), was an Andalusian
Muslim polymath; a master of Islamic philosophy, Islamic theology,
Maliki law and jurisprudence, logic, psychology, politics, Arabic
sound theory, and the sciences of medicine, astronomy, geography,
mathematics, physics and celestial mechanics. He was born in Córdoba,
Al Andalus, modern-day Spain, and died in Marrakesh, modern-day
Morocco. His school of philosophy is known as Averroism. He has
been described by some as the founding father of secular thought
in Western Europe and "one of the spiritual fathers of Europe,"
although other scholars oppose such claims.

His name is also seen as Averroës, Averroès or Averrhoës, indicating
that the "o" and the "e" form separate syllables.
Averroes is a Latinate distortion of the actual Arab name Ibn Rushd.

Ibn Rushd came from a family of Islamic legal scholars; his grandfather
Abu Al-Walid Muhammad (d. 1126) was chief judge of Qurtabah (Córdoba)
under the Almoravid dynasty. His father, Abu Al-Qasim Ahmad, held
the same position until the coming of the Almohad dynasty in 1146.

STRANGE
BUT TRUE

Your
blood takes a very long trip through your body. If you could stretch
out all of a human’s blood vessels, they would be about 60,000 miles
long. That’s enough to go around the world twice.

POEM

BRINGING
THE HAJJ HOME!

You missed the quota again, and your heart
is sore,
You wonder when you are going to be at Ka'aba's door....
You long for that time when you too can make Tawaaf,
And when, you can stand on Arafaat, begging for Maaf....

For that sore heart, besides being there, there is no balm,
But fear not, The Haj Broadcast will allow you a bit of calm,
For it will allow your heart, in the holy lands, to roam,
As this year, The Haj is coming to you, in your home!
